Chapter 46 Love Has No Limitation

Decha hurries through the university looking for Asnee, but in the morning, he can't find Asnee anywhere. When it was time for practice, he saw Asnee in the changing room. He quickly made his way to Asnee.

Decha, "Ai Nee, why did Ai Chai suddenly drop out of school? He is among the top three students in the finance department."

Asnee said sadly, "Let's talk after practice."

Decha said, "Okay...don't tell me you're too jealous and lock him in your condo."

Asnee hit Decha's chest lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about... let's go."

Decha said, "I'm very worried, I don't understand why Ai Chai suddenly dropped out of school."

"Let's talk after practice," Asnee said. He walked out of the locker room.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Asnee and Decha were sitting in a small coffee shop. Decha looked at Asnee and said, "Tell me?"

Asnee said, "My parents know about Chai and me."

Decha, "So? That doesn't explain why Ai Chai had to quit school."

"I cut ties with my parents to be with Chai," Asnee said.

Decha sighed, "They're not supporting you financially anymore."

Asnee took a sip of coffee, "Well...Chai decided to drop out and work to support us."

Decha said, "Ai Nee, if you love Chai, shouldn't you be the one who dropped out of school and worked hard to support him and you?"

Asnee said, "He refused. He said no one was waiting for him to accomplish his goals. When he came on stage to get his degree, no one would hold up a big bulletin board and call his name."

Decha said, "Ai Nee, you really need to cherish Ai Chai. In your life, there are not many people who agree with you in everything." He sighed. "Also, in your life, no one will love you more than Ai Chai loves you. As your good friend, if one day you accidentally hurt Ai Chai, I will not be nice to you, I will return that punch back to you."

Asnee said, "I know...if that day comes, I deserve that punch to wake me up."

Decha smiled and said, "Ah... a dog like you is not worthy of a person like Ai Chai."

Santichai struggled to find work, but since he only had a high school degree, his job options were limited. He got a job at a construction company, and he has a second job as a taxi driver. When he went to pick up one of his customers at the bar, he noticed a wanting poster note by the door. The bar was only a block away from his tiny apartment. He walked into the bar and suddenly realized it was a gay bar. He walked to the counter and the bartender looked at him strangely.

Santichai asked, "Pi, are they still hiring at this bar?"

Kantee looked at Santichai and said, "Are you Chai?"

Santichai looked at the bartender, "Who are you?"

Kantee said, "Hey, it's me Ai Tee..."

Santichai said, "Pi Tee?"

Kantee laughed, "Yes me..." He looked at Santichai. "Looking for a job?"

Santichai, "Yes."

Kantee said, "You know it's a gay bar."

Santichai said, "I know."

Kantee said, "I'm looking for someone to help do the dishes in the kitchen. Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8pm to 3am. You can take it if you want. I'd rather give the job to someone I know."

Santichai didn't think much, smiled and said, "I'll take it."

Kantee said, "You can start work tomorrow."

Santichai and Asnee's daily life has changed, the only time Santichai can see Asnee is when Asnee doesn't have morning classes. Santichai works from 4 pm to 2 am every day. As days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, Santichai has little time to talk to Asnee. Santichai has only been intimate with Asnee eight times over the years, but he doesn't mind as long as Asnee is around. He was afraid, very afraid of losing Asnee because year after year he became dependent on Asnee's presence.

It was already noon when the workers had a break to eat. Santichai doesn't pay much attention to other workers. While other workers shared lunch and talked about their girlfriends or wife, Santichai sat alone away from everyone. After lunch, he started walking towards the other workers, and a dumbbell was swung towards him.

The manager rushed over shouting, "Santichai! Moved away!"

The manager's warning was too late, the wrecking ball hit Santichai from the side and Santichai's body slammed into the brick wall. The driver quickly got out of the tractor and rushed towards Santichai.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you."

"Someone called an ambulance."

The manager rushed over and helped Santichai up, but Santichai's blood and disfigured back scared him, so he slowly laid Santichai back to the ground. He shouted, "Call help." He looked at the driver. "What do you think you are doing? We don't currently need to use this now.

Still shocked, the driver said, "I'm just going to move the tractor away, so we have more space to work."

The driver and the manager followed Santichai to the hospital. The manager tried to call Santichai's emergency contact number, but no one answered. He checked Santichai's phone and only had two numbers listed. He dialed another number.

Decha was coming home from school when Santichai called. He pressed the talk button on his car. He smiled and said, "Ai Chai, what's up?"

The manager asked in a trembling voice, "Are you a family member of Santichai?"

Decha said, "No, I'm a very good friend of him. What happened to Santichai?"

"He had an accident this afternoon," the manager said.

Decha slammed on the brakes and quickly pulled the car to the side of the road. He said, "How is it? Is it serious?"

The manager said, "He's been in surgery for two hours now. He's in serious condition. I tried to call his emergency number, but I couldn't get through. Can you tell his family?"

Decha asked, "Which hospital are you at?"

The manager said, "South Bay Regional Medical Center."

"I'll call him right away," Decha said. He hung up and quickly dialed Asnee's number, but it went straight to voicemail. He left Asnee a brief message to go to South Bay Regional Medical Center. He stepped on the gas pedal, turned the car around illegally, and sped straight to the medical center.

After Decha arrived, he went directly to the front desk and asked the nursing staff, who took him to the emergency waiting area. Decha saw two men sitting and waiting. He approached the two. "Did you call me for Santichai," he asked.

The manager looked at Decha and said, "Yes. Are you?"

Decha said, "I'm his brother."

The manager said, "Thank God."

Decha asked, "What happened?"

The driver said, "I was at fault. I was moving the tractor, so we will have more room to work, but I didn't know Santichai was coming towards me. I swear, I didn't see him."

The manager said, "For now, it was an accident, but we will investigate. Don't worry, my boss told me that the company will pay for all medical expenses and compensation."

"Your company had better do a good job, unless we meet in court. Don't assume he's working at your company without strong friends and family to support him," Decha said.

The manager said, "Santichai is a good kid, and I will fight for him."

"Please convey my regards to the president of your company, if anything happens to Santichai, he will likely face a civil lawsuit from the Dudar Cooperation."

The manager said, "I'll report back."

The driver asked with a trembling voice, "Is there a connection between Santichai and the Dudar Cooperation?"

Decha looked at the driver and said, "You are looking at its heir."

The surgeon trotted out of the operating room to Decha, the manager, and the driver. The surgeon said, "He will survive, but his back is badly damaged. When he gets better, further surgery will be required. I'm not a spine specialist, but we will recommend him one."

Decha said, "When can we see him?"

"Give the team another forty-five minutes to get him ready," the surgeon said. "After that, you can visit him in his room. A nurse will come get you."

Decha said, "Thanks."

The manager said, "Khun Dudar, we will also be leaving. I have to go back and write an accident report."

Decha looked at the manager and said, "I apologized just now. I was very inappropriate towards you."

The manager smiled and said, "Don't worry, Khun Dudar. If I were in your situation, I would lose my temper too. It's normal. When Santichai wakes up, please tell him I will visit him when I get all the documents ready."

Decha thanked the manager and watched as the manager and the driver walked out of the emergency waiting room. He picked up the phone and called Asnee, but it went to voicemail. He left Asnee with another message.

Outside the emergency door, the manager said, "You don't have to go back to work, I'm sure you're as shocked as I am. Come back to work in three days."

The driver thanked the manager, and the manager left. While waiting for a taxi, his phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone.

Driver, "Hello."

"Is the job done?"

"Yes, it's done."

"Is he dead or still breathing?"

"He's still alive."

The woman sneered. "The money has been transferred, don't contact me again," she said.

The driver hurriedly checked his mobile phone and received a text message saying that he had just received a transfer of five hundred thousand baht. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Khun Siriporn."
